One of the many reasons I enjoy KieKoi so much is that it transports me to my highschool days. Such innocence, embarrassments, fear and at the same time unflinching courage to venture into the unknown!! Ah... all of it comes rushing back. It fills my heart!!
I'm enjoying the series but I could do without the 'confused about the sexuality, token-girl love interest' trope.…
Though confused about sexuality and experimental opposite sex relationship is very much real and painful for many LGBTQ people but yes, over use of this in BL dramas have reduced this crisis to a trope. As you have already mentioned both P&P have enough conflicts to deal with, the show could do away with not introducing a girl in the mix. But at least they have made the girl character not dramatically evil. Also I enjoyed the fact that they talked among eachother about their mutual feelings.
Anyone has bl recommendations? I'm kind of new to this genre (I've already watched cherry magic and Kieta hatsukoi)
😀 I will also add my two cents: Taiwan is making good (movie and drama) same sex contents. They are mostly not BLs but some are. You can check them out.
